CLOSING LINE:
Children and young single Mothers are a part of development to any nation and if cared for and kept in school, they can have a bright successful future; they can give support to their families, community and nation at large. In our country it’s the girl child who support their families especially the ageing parents by caring for them in all aspects. We, therefore, highly recommend teenage mothers' vocational training and rehabilitation centre as recipe for these girls who to enjoy a wonderful environment and training for better living standards.
